	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"A nice homage to the 'Goonies' era of juvenile genre cinema (...) Those seeking horror content will find the payoff underwhelming after a protracted, mild buildup."	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"If the lazy writing isn’t bugging you, the truly lackluster performances will get the job done."	NEG
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"The film teases viewers pretty effectively (...) Attempts to flesh out the teen characters don't work very well"	NEU
United States	Alan Scherstuhl Village Voice	"By the end, the craziest shit has happened, persuasively, with both memorable style and some emotional power"	POS
United States	Matt Goldberg Collider	"'Summer of 84' is like a kid playing with his dad’s gun, and he gets to be so irritating and cocky that you eventually wish he’ll just shoot himself in the foot and get it over with."	NEG
United States	Fred Topel Bloody Disgusting	"'Summer of ‘84' effectively created a creepy tone of paranoid kids (...) [It] hit the sweet spot for me (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
